Implementing PoE
The IEEE 802.3af standard, which is the IEEE standard for PoE, describes two
methods for implementing PoE over twisted pair cabling. One method uses the
same strands that carry the network traffic and the other the spare strands.
The PoE implementation on the AT-8624PoE switch transmits power over the
same strands that carry the network traffic (strands 1, 2, 3 and 6). The power
transfer does not interfere with the network traffic. The power and the network
traffic can coexist on the same strands simultaneously.
Powered devices that comply with the IEEE 802.3af standard support both
methods of power delivery. As long as a powered device is compliant with the
standard, it should be able to receive its power from the switch.
AT-TFTP Server
This section provides information on how to access and use AT-TFTP Server.
AT-TFTP Server can be used to transfer configuration files as well as to
download software patches and releases.
To use AT-TFTP Server, follow these steps:
1. If AT-TFTP Server has not yet been installed.
Install it now from the AT-8600 Series Documentation and Tools CD-ROM.
Choose AT-TFTP Server from the Start > Programs > Allied Telesis >
AT-T FTP Server menu.
2. To set preferences for the AT-TFTP Server.
Select "Options" from the File menu to display the "Set Preferences" dialog
box.
The "Default file transfer directory" field specifies the directory that AT-
TFTP Server will read from or write to for file requests that do not include a
directory specification.
To prevent unauthorised access to private directories, enter a path name in
the "Restrict to directory" field. AT-TFTP Server will use only the specified
directory, even if file requests contain references to other directories.
Select "Read only" to prevent files being written to the PC. To use the PC to
archive scripts created using the switch’s
CREATE CONFIG command, select
"Read Write".
Make any required changes and click "OK".
